Recently, I was accepted into a YouTube collaboration channel called Vlog Cereal. The channel can be found here. A new video is posted every weekday, if not then punishments will be given out!. I post my video every Wednesday so be sure to check back their often. Below is a list of the five users who are in this collab.

On another note, school has just started for me again. But this time, it will different. This Summer (right now, right here), Shaun McGarry stars in, YEAR 11!!! This time, he will be exhausted beyond belief! In cinemas never.

Yes, the conveniently placed movie-trailer-thats-not-a-movie-trailer-because-it-is-actually-just-some-text-that’s-made-to-look-like-the-words-from-a-trailer is correct. There’s not much to say about it except for… the agonising crushing reality that the next two years are going entirely exhausting. The problem is that it already is now. Crap.

Now for something game related. I’ve played through and finished Saints Row 2 and I must say, it’s over the top but this is a good thing. Games are supposed to imitate everything that’s never going to ever happen, not copy the exact dullness for real life, *cough* Grand Theft Auto IV *cough*. In Saints Row 2, the minigames are fun and over-the-top. You have minigames where you blow stuff up in a helicopter and you have minigames when you spray poo onto people, cars and houses, which is fun especially if you aim it the the many cops that will chase you down.

Might write a review for this game later… ‘Maybe I might write a review later.’ Remember that phrase? I said that when I spoke about MegaMan Star Force and it’s sequel. Have I written a review for them yet? No, so I should get off my lazy ass and do some work. Kind of like this blog post which I think is my longest casual (not article) post I’ve ever made so far. Let’s try and channel some of that writing ability into a review!

Before it talk about this game, I want to talk about how I got it. Apparantly, it’s not out yet in Australia, it comes out at the end of October, so I ended up buying it off EBay from the UK for about $50 AUS, which is about $30 US, stupid economic crisis! Australian money was almost worth more than American money and it just dropped half way when the crashes started happening and… wait, what was I talking about again? Oh right. MegaMan Star Force 2.

Four weeks ago, I sent away for it and waited a week. I noticed something during that week. A lot can happen in such a short amount of time. But enough about my personal life, back to the end of the week.

Three weeks ago, the game arrived in the mail. I opened the package and there it was. MegaMan Star Force 2: Zerker x Ninja, the version I bought. So I started playing it. Something I noticed immediately was that it wasn’t much different from the original. Okay, I kind of expected that. Capcom has a reputation for that. Or is that just the MegaMan series? It doesn’t matter.

Two weeks ago, I got stuck on it. But it was at a point in the game where you’d expect that to happen. The final boss. This boss is HARD! Or was that just me and the fact that I rushed through most of the game and didn’t get any powerups? Probably yes.

One week ago, I beat it. Thank god for that! And then a thought hit me. ‘Oh, that’s it… that’s a tad disappointing.’ Since I’ve finished the game, I might review it but since I didn’t review the original and I said I was, don’t count on it.

Just a quick summary of the game. The same old thing and disappointing. Sadly I expected that and that’s why I bought it. Let’s just wait for MegaMan Star Force 3 to come out and see if they can pick the series up. Which probably won’t happen. For now, please enjoy this trailer for it that was shown at TGS 2008!
